Who Can Be Held Responsible for a Traumatic Brain Injury?<\/h2>\n

The person whose carelessness caused the injury can usually be held liable. Often, more than one party shares the blame. The responsible party is usually a careless driver, a trucking company, a property owner, a product maker, or a medical provider. Their failure to act with reasonable care led to the harm.<\/p>\n

Who is liable depends on how the injury happened. It also depends on who acted carelessly. It is not about who was simply nearby. It is about who had a duty to keep others safe and broke that duty.<\/p>\n

What it takes to hold someone legally responsible<\/h2>\n

To hold someone responsible for a brain injury, you usually must prove four things: duty, breach, causation, and harm. Together they form a negligence claim. That means a claim that says someone was careless.<\/p>\n
